If you want to spread the word about Akany Avoko, there are some new promotional materials here on the blog to help you. Just go to the Promotional Materials page and you can follow the links to download PDFs of brochures and other information. By the end of February 2012, all of our major documents will be available for download in English and French. This is just a start, but please have a look.

There is a new booklet that uses quotes from children, staff and even judges to tell the story of a child's journey through Akany Avoko. It helps explain what life is like before, during and after Akany. Everything is anonymous and some quotes are combined and corrected, but it does show what life is really like for our children.

Christmas Show 2011 [Video]

Pictures and words can only go so far. If you want to really see and hear what our 2011 Annual Christmas Show was like, please watch the video. It is a high resolution video, so if you want to choose a larger size it will still be lovely.

Enjoy.

First Games of the Year

Maybe not technically a game, but certainly a favorite activity nonetheless, looking in rear view mirrors. This also why I have to adjust my mirrors each and every trip.

Christmas may have reindeer games, but New Year's day has its games too. At least it does at Akany Avoko. After a special "European style" breakfast prepared by the volunteers and a nice lunch prepared by the children and the staff, the kids had a lovely afternoon to relax and play games.

Check out some of their choices for the first games of the year.
